This! The helicopter crash in Sacramento a few months ago was a good reminder of this.

Just going off rusty memory I think this might be their first accident.
I think you’re correct. There have been some runway overruns but this might be the first major accident.

First fatal accident yes.
Being told that the fatality is one of the pilots.

The video of the evacuation shows both pilots evacuating, and seems to indicate that there was still an unconscious person in the cabin that rescuers were trying to get to.

No video I have seen shows both pilots.
But I will say the information is conflicting, and this is even coming from guys I worked with when I was at NJA.

I posted a link a few posts back. Let me know if you don’t see it and I’ll try and find another link.

Amazing how quickly the rescuers got on scene and seeing the crew get out was a relief.
